this happens they seem some kind of body out of their physical bodies. The spiritual body has shape & form unlike our physical body as cloud of colors or an energy field. One NDEer said he was composed of light with Tiny structures in them. Tunnel experience happens after bodily separation, tunnel opens up & they are propeller into darkness. In starting going through dark space & at the end come into the brilliant light some go up stairways some describe going through beautiful ornate doors some hear whoosh as go into tunnel or hear an electric vibrating sensation or humming sound Once through the tunnel person usually meets beings of light glow with beautiful intense luminescence permeate everything
Jung when had heart attack he rise rapidly far above earth then one child talked passing through stars with angels zooming up & seeing planet & earth below like blue marble. Materialist reduce mind to brain & see the death of braint as the end of mind life & mind is biology your thoughts feelings hopes fears are all electro chemical reactions in the brain. The brain obviously turns into mush after you. A woman who suffered cardiac arrest reported “I was going down, down deep into earth I felt horrible everything was grey, noise was fearsome, snarling crashing like maddened wild animals gnashing their teeth (Grey).
In Tibet who had NDE called delocks - means returned from death. Traditionally deloks are people who seemingly die if illness find traveling into bardo, visit hell realms where they witness judgement of dead & suffering of hell & sometimes paradise & Buddha realm. After weak delok is sent back to the body with message from lord of death urging them to spiritual & beneficial way of life. The tradition of deloks continues in the Tibetan Himalayan regions today. Tunnel to brightest brilliant light didn't hurt but was soothing to eyes.
When Jung had heart attack then he had near death experience. He experiencing out of body & envisioning earth from 1000 miles out of space. He could see Arabian deserts, snowcapped Himaláyas, huge meleorite floating towards him it was curved line, Hindu temples numerous flaming lamps, to the right Hindu man meditating wearing white gown on lotus posture on stone bench a spirit who was died in his place called him back to earth & he returned.
Other recount they not only see the light but enter into light & felt no sense of separate identity.
A woman undergone two operation told only my essence was felt, space was filled with bliss, bathed in radiant light & immersed in aura of rainbow all was fusion sounds were in order harmonious...
